With the exception of Louisville any currently unbeaten team will play in the BCSNG game before a once beaten LSU team. Its unlikely we would jump an unbeaten Oregon or an unbeaten Clemson or an unbeaten FSU or an unbeaten Ohio State.

I believe both Clemson and FSU will drop a game. If we take care of business in Tuscaloosa and Atlanta then its Oregon and OSU who are the biggest obstacles.

For one loss LSU to make the national championship the only other thing (aside from winning out) that needs to happen is either the PAC-12 or ACC champion needs to have one loss. That's it

LSU will get a big bump in the human polls after beating Alabama, and will get smaller bumps from beating A&M and the SEC-c.

I'm a scenario with Oregon 1, OSU 2 and LSU 3 in the human polls the difference in points will be very close, and LSUs computer ratings will push them past it.

And to be honest, I'm not totally sure there won't be some media saying "LSU is the better team, played tougher schedule, won best conference" that nullifies or overcomes anti-SEC and brand name loyalty.
